Living in Pjöngjang – a tribute to Otto Warmbier

In January we met the history of Otto Warmbier more by chance in the net.

We asked ourselves, why thus a seemingly inhuman treatment and disproportionate, arbitrary punishment with recognizably political background, is ignored as much as possible by the world public. Are we so blunted compared with our liberal-democratic values that except war, death, money, power, hardly likes to penetrate something into our consciousness?

We decided within the scope of our new project working title “shadow worlds” to dedicate a track to this history. The track finished in March and should be called „Living in Pjongjang“.

Unfortunately, the reality has overtaken us: Otto Warmbier, whose court statement is to be heard as a sample in the track, is dead. Died under unsettled circumstances presumably as a result of his prison sentence. With the decision to publish this track before album release, we would like to turn in the memory of Otto Warmbier to all people: Fight for the freedom, fight against menaces of the freedom and fight against injustice!

Never accept if offend against this fundamental right. Please, help us to send this message in the world! Against dictatorship, against state arbitrariness!
